		<description><![CDATA[Remember high school? Remember the cliques, the jealousies, the maneuvering to become one of the popular kids, the incredible nastiness over trivia? Remember how distressing it was when two or three of your friends got into a particularly nasty fight, and all of them demanded that you take their side? Remember wishing that your parents [...]]]></description>

You’re holding your own, and you see that your opponent is tired and distracted. His concentration [...]]]></description>

The subject:Marijuana dispensaries.
Will there be tendentious position-defining?  Meaningless posturing? Bewildered, clueless politicians and/or law enforcement officials?  A packed house, thanks to folks with a dog in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thanks to would-be Sheriff Jake Shirk, I narrowly missed a perfect primary prediction record.  Had I picked Shirk, I would have made a perfect zero - but even the best prognosticators sometimes fall short.
Forced to choose between two experienced, intelligent, and eminently well-qualified candidates, Democrats went with Michael Bennet.  The incumbent Senator has [...]]]></description>

Romanoff v. Bennet
Polls, power and cash flow all say Bennet - so I&#8217;m going with Romanoff.  While in the legislature, Romanoff attended every dreary Dem event in [...]]]></description>

We list the candidates, announced and unannounced, and evaluate their strengths and weaknesses and list their campaign themes. We omitted UCCS Chancellor Pam Shockley-Zalabak from the list, because it appears highly improbabable that she would leave her present position for four years of ill-paid hurly-burly at [...]]]></description>

A few years back, when I was a candidate for &#8220;weak mayor&#8221;, I was regaling then state Sen. Ken Chlouber with my visionary ideas.  Ken listened for a while and then [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;We&#8217;re just another country,&#8221; said a San Francisco venture capitalist at an amiable gathering of his peers last week.
&#8220;As long as ours is the reserve currency we have an advantage,&#8221; he said, &#8220;but that won&#8217;t last forever.&#8221;
So what does the future hold? His guess:  permanently high unemployment, a stagnant economy, an unsettled political climate, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s nothing quite as dispiriting as a political campaign gone bad.
Staff members jump ship, support evaporates and the candidate has to soldier on and pretend that everything&#8217;s just hunky-dory.
To make matters worse, the media just won&#8217;t let it (whatever &#8220;it&#8221; is) go.  They ask the same pesky questions, they roll their eyes, they uncover [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Political scandals such as this one have a predictable arc.
The candidate/elected official/senior appointed official is caught red-handed in behavior so questionable that denials are futile.  Loyal spinmeisters blame the press, or focus on some minor detail of the alleged transgression that can be effectively disputed, thereby (they hope!) discrediting the rest of the accusations.
